Kierkgaaard discusses the two ages: age of revolution and the present age. According to Kierkegaard the present age( in his time, 19th century) is the age of superficiality and apathy. The present age lacks passion as compared to the age of revolution (past times).
๐๐จ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Kierkegaard talks about the past age and describes it as the age of passion and revolution. According to Kierkegaard, it was the age where people actually acted on their passions and were not afraid to take a stand for themselves and their ideologies.
